Everyone knows that women are attracted to men who wear pheromones. You also get more respect from other men because it makes you more confident in social settings. While all of this true, the bad thing is that not all pheromone products are great ones. Some of them don’t contain a noticeable number of pheromones. In order to be a good pheromone product, it must have the right number of pheromones and dosage. If it doesn’t, why buy it?

How Well Do Pheromone Colognes Work?

Plenty of research has been done on pheromone colognes for men. Women respond quite favorably to men who wear them. As a matter of fact, 74 percent of controlled participants experienced an increase in sexual behavior such as hugs, kisses and sex.

Are Women Attracted to Pheromones?

Yes, they are. According to studies, women find men who wear them very sexy, viral, masculine, smart and charming. Many times, they aren’t any better looking or masculine than other men. Women are greatly attracted to men who have stronger amounts of pheromones.

How to Use Pheromones for Men

Use as many as you’d like. Allow the scent to soak in for about 5 minutes. Apply it on pulse points such as back of the ears, wrists, neck, chest and armpits. You’ll attract others around you.

Where Do You Spray Pheromones in the Body?

Put it on your underarms, chest, neck and wrist. Put some on your clothing as well. Use 2 to 5 sprays to experience the best results.

How Do Pheromones Work?

Pheromone scents are detected by the Vomeronasal Organ, which sends a chemical message to a woman’s brain.

So, when the VMO detects the pheromone, this goes straight to a woman’s limbic area, which is known as the “seat of emotions.” This has nothing to do with logic and their ability to reason well. It controls their sexual emotions.

These emotional feelings are triggered by the pheromones unconsciously. Most women don’t even realize what is happening. They feel romantic emotions and are really turned on sexually by you. Their brain releases phenethylamine, which initiates the production of dopamine. This is a chemical that makes people feel good. It is also said that pheromones enhance a woman’s luteinizing hormone, which makes them very responsive to men sexually.

How Long Do Pheromones Last?

A majority of pheromones have staying power of 4 to 8 hours, if you follow the manufacturer’s instructions. But when applied in the morning, continue to reapply every 3-4 hours to get the best results.

Types of Pheromones for Men

Basically, there are two kinds of pheromone products for men, and they are the following:

Spray Colognes- This type is used the most by men. It is a good choice because it is easy to apply to any area of the body.

Oils- Only a few pheromone products are oil based. These products are highly concentrated, which mean they easily stain clothing. Thus, pheromone colognes are recommended the most.

To prove pheromones actually exist and impact sexual arousal, we must first show that humans produce them. Second, we have to show there is a way for humans to detect them. Third, we have to show that humans consistently respond to them in a sexual way.

Proposed Benefits of Human Pheromones

With that being said, it is safe to assume the following benefits when using pheromone-infused personal grooming products like body sprays and colognes:

• Increased level of sexual attraction where the opposite sex is concerned
• Enhanced passion in the romance department such as in the case of married couples
• Improved self-confidence in the knowledge that, indeed, you are attractive

What Science Knows

Do humans secrete pheromones? Both males and females have glands in the underarms, nipples and genital areas that produce odors. Biochemists have discovered pheromone properties in the sweat and urine of men and pigs. They’ve made the same discovery about women, somewhat.

So, this means we produce odors and our bodies secrete chemicals. Unfortunately, scientists don’t know the specific secretions that can be identified as human pheromones.

Even if the body produces pheromones, can we actually detect them? This question is easier to answer. Scientists know that babies, children and adults can either like or dislike another person based upon their smell. Wouldn’t it also make sense that we have the ability to detect pheromones via the nose?

Do They Increase Sexual Arousal?

Probably the most important question is whether or not detection leads to sexual arousal. A lot of pheromones on the market contain pheromone substances that are derived from mammals such as cats, beavers, musk deer and pigs.

Research shows that either nothing occurs, or responses decrease when people are exposed to these substances. This means humans aren’t turned on by pheromones derived from animals.

But understand that pheromones are species specific. Humans are not sexually aroused by pheromones if they are human pheromones. However, pheromones that aren’t species specific many trigger emotional feelings which “could” lead to sexual feelings.

This explains what happens when you associate a scent with a particular human, and it makes you consistently respond in a positive manner. But then again, these are learned responses. They aren’t true responses.

In Context

If we look at these differences in the context , we arrive at an intriguing thought: Could it be that the friendly attitude of southerners has something to do with their pheromones, which are free to float around in the warm air, unrestricted by heavy winter clothing? Are northerners cooler because they aren’t getting enough of their fellow humans’ pheromones?

Researcher Louis Monti-Bloch shared with us his theory about that perennial human affliction, spring fever: “We release pheromones constantly. In the spring and summer, people wear less clothing as the weather warms up, therefore more skin is exposed and people are receiving chemical inputs they are not aware of.”

The way Monti-Bloch describes it, spring fever could herald the arrival of a pheromone army into the air we breathe, which could explain why many of us drift around in a state of bliss as the months advance toward summer. When we cover our skin with clothing, we block the pheromones secreted through the skin from circulating through the air.

This fact seems to validate our desire—however embarrassed we might be by its acknowledgment—to show some skin. Go ahead and wear that slightly risque’ dress or tank top. Men and women are designed to communicate with one another in ways that go beyond the trappings of words and other sensory signals.

Research Must Continue

Thus, research must continue. Maybe I can post in the future about proven evidence on this topic. As it stands, humans are different from animals. They don’t have to rely on a particular hormone or chemical secretion to be sexually aroused.

For right now, nothing proves one substance initiates these types of animalistic urges and makes humans behave in a sexual manner.

Conclusion

Although their existence has been known for many years, there have not been any conclusive studies into their actual consequences in humans. This has been due to badly thought out experiments and trials or dubious biases by the people carrying out the study.

This coupled with the shady advertising of some pheromone products have left the entire field in a state of disrepute.

However, this could all be about to change with new research and trials that are emerging. Recent evidence from brain imaging scans shows that humans do actually respond to pheromones. Furthermore, more scientists are starting to come around to the idea that humans do use and respond to their effects.

The sticking point in this whole discussion is when will we stop arguing over whether or not they affect our behavior but instead pinpointing exactly how they affect us.
